Dear ADT Stockholder:
You are cordially invited to attend The ADT Corporation 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which will be held at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, on Thursday, March 14, 2013 at the Embassy Suites Boca Raton, 661 NW 53rd Street, Boca Raton, Florida. Details of the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting are given in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, which provides information required by applicable laws and regulations.
In accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules, we are using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to stockholders. Because we are using the Internet, most stockholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send these stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the Notice) with instructions for accessing the proxy materials and voting via the Internet. This Notice also provides information on how stockholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose. We believe use of the Internet makes the proxy distribution process more efficient, less costly and helps in conserving natural resources.
Your vote is important and we encourage you to vote whether you are a registered owner or a beneficial owner and whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. If you are a registered owner of ADT common stock and do not plan to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you may vote via the Internet, by telephone or, if you receive a paper proxy card in the mail, by mailing the completed proxy card. Voting by any of these methods will ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner and someone else, such as your bank, broker or trustee is the owner of record, the owner of record will communicate with you about how to vote your shares.
Thank you for your continued interest in our Company.
Yours sincerely,
Bruce Gordon
Chairman of the Board of Directors

INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND THE ANNUAL MEETING
Introduction
Separation from Tyco International Ltd.
On September 28, 2012 (the Distribution Date), The ADT Corporation (ADT or the Company) became an independent, publicly traded company as a result of Tyco International Ltd.s (Tyco) distribution, on a pro rata basis, of all of the shares of ADT to Tyco stockholders (the Separation or the Spin-off). ADTs common stock began trading regular way under the ticker symbol ADT on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on October 1, 2012. As a result of the Separation, ADT owns the residential and small business security business in the United States and Canada previously owned by Tyco. For further information regarding the Separation, see our Information Statement filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K on September 17, 2012 and amended Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
Questions and Answers about Voting Your Shares
Why did I receive these proxy materials?
ADT has sent a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and/or Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, together with the enclosed proxy card, because ADTs Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting on March 14, 2013 (Annual Meeting). This Proxy Statement contains information about the items being voted on at the Annual Meeting and important information about ADT. ADTs 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes ADTs consolidated and combined financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2012 (the Annual Report), is enclosed with these materials.
ADT has made these materials available to each person who is registered as a holder of its shares in its register of stockholders (such owners are often referred to as holders of record or registered stockholders) as of the close of business on January 16, 2013, the record date for the Annual Meeting. Any ADT stockholder as of the record date who does not receive Notice of the Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, together with the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card and the Annual Report, may obtain a copy at the Annual Meeting or by contacting ADT at (561) 322-4958.
ADT has requested that banks, brokerage firms and other nominees who hold ADT shares on behalf of the owners of the shares (such owners are often referred to as beneficial owners, beneficial stockholders or street name holders) as of the close of business on January 16, 2013 forward these materials, together with a voting instruction card, to those beneficial stockholders. ADT has agreed to pay the reasonable expenses of the banks, brokerage firms and other nominees for forwarding these materials.
Finally, ADT has provided for these materials to be sent to persons who have interests in ADT shares through participation in ADTs retirement savings plans, Tycos retirement savings plans or Pentair Ltd.s (formerly Tyco Flow Control International Ltd. (Pentair)) retirement savings plans. These individuals are not eligible to vote directly at the Annual Meeting. They may, however, instruct the trustees of these plans how to vote the shares represented by their interests. The enclosed proxy card will also serve as voting instructions for the trustees of the plans. Please note that the deadline for instructing the trustees of these plans is at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 11, 2013.
Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials?
Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, we have elected to provide stockholders access to our proxy materials over the Internet. We believe that this e-proxy process will expedite our stockholders receipt of proxy materials, lower costs and reduce the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. Accordingly, we sent a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the Notice) on or about January 28, 2013 to stockholders of record
- 1 -
entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. If you receive the Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you specifically request a printed copy.
All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on a website referred to in the Notice, to download printable versions of the proxy materials from our website or to request and receive a printed copy of the proxy materials from us. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy from us may be found on the Notice. If you receive paper copies of the proxy materials, a proxy card will also be enclosed.
Who is entitled to vote?
January 16, 2013 is the record date for the Annual Meeting. On January 16, 2013, there were 232,594,054 shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders registered in our share register at the close of business on January 16, 2013 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
How many votes do I have?
Every holder of a common share on the record date will be entitled to one vote per share for each Director to be elected at the Annual Meeting and to one vote per share on each other matter presented at the Annual Meeting.
What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
Most of our stockholders hold their shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some differences between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.
Stockholder of Record
If your shares are registered directly in your name, as registered shares entitled to voting rights, in our share register operated by our transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record and the Notice or, if requested, hard copies of these proxy materials are being sent to you directly by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the Company officers named in the proxy card, or to grant a written proxy to any person (who does not need to be a stockholder), or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you have received hard copies of the proxy materials, we have enclosed a proxy card for you to use in which you can elect to appoint Company officers as proxies.
Beneficial Owner
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and the Notice or, if requested, hard copies of these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may only vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting if you follow the instructions described below under the heading How do I attend the Annual Meeting? and How do I vote? If you have received hard copies of the proxy materials, your broker, bank or other nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares, which may contain instructions for voting by telephone or electronically.
How do I vote?
You can vote in the following ways:
| By Mail: If you are a holder of record and elect to receive a hard copy of your proxy materials, you can vote by marking, dating and signing the appropriate proxy card and returning it by mail in the enclosed |
- 2 -
postage-paid envelope. If you beneficially own your shares and receive a voting instruction card, you can vote by following the instructions on your voting instruction card. Please refer to information from your bank, broker or other nominee on how to submit voting instructions. |
| By Internet or Telephone: You can vote over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com by following the instructions on the proxy card, voting instruction card or in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials previously sent to you. You can vote using a touchtone telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903. |
| At the Annual Meeting: If you are planning to attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote your shares in person, we will give you a ballot at the meeting. Stockholders who own their shares in street name are not able to vote at the Annual Meeting unless they have a proxy, executed in their favor, from their broker, bank or other nominee, the holder of record of their shares. |
Even if you plan to be present at the Annual Meeting and you are a holder of record, we encourage you to complete and mail the enclosed card to vote your shares by proxy or vote by phone or the Internet. Telephone and Internet voting facilities for stockholders will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m. EST on March 13, 2013. Mailed proxy cards must be received no later than March 13, 2013.
How do I vote by proxy given to a Company officer if I am a holder of record?
If you properly fill in your proxy card appointing an officer of the Company as your proxy and submit it to us in time to vote, your proxy, meaning one of the individuals named on your proxy card, will vote your shares as you have directed. If you sign the proxy card but do not make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares as recommended by the Board of Directors FOR each of the agenda items listed in this Proxy Statement.
If a new agenda item or a new motion or proposal for an existing agenda item is presented at the Annual Meeting, the Company officer acting as your proxy will vote in accordance with the recommendation of our Board of Directors. At the time we began printing this Proxy Statement, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the Annual Meeting other than those discussed in this Proxy Statement.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to submit your proxy. Returning the proxy card or submitting your vote electronically will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting. You must return your proxy card by the times and dates set forth below under Returning Your Proxy Card to the Company in order for your vote to be counted.
How do I attend the Annual Meeting?
All stockholders are invited to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. For admission to the Annual Meeting, stockholders of record should bring the admission ticket which is part of the enclosed proxy card and a form of photo identification to the Registered Stockholders check-in area, where their ownership will be verified. Those who beneficially own shares should come to the Beneficial Owners check-in area. To be admitted, beneficial owners must bring account statements or letters from their bank, brokers or nominees showing that they own ADT shares as of January 16, 2013 along with a form of photo identification. Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. and the Annual Meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m.
What if I return my proxy but do not mark it to show how I am voting?
Your shares will be voted according to the instructions you have indicated. If you sign and return your proxy card but do not indicate instructions for voting, your shares will be voted: FOR the election of all nominees to the Board of Directors named on the proxy card; FOR the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2013; FOR the approval, in a non-binding vote, of ADTs named executive officer compensation; and ONE YEAR, in a non-binding vote, on the frequency of non-binding stockholder vote on ADTs named executive officer compensation. For any other matter which may properly come before the Annual Meeting, and any adjournment or postponement thereof, proxies will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors.
- 3 -
May I change or revoke my vote after I submit my vote via telephone or the Internet, or return my proxy or voting instruction card?
You may change your vote before it is exercised by:
| Notifying our Corporate Secretary in writing before the Annual Meeting that you are revoking your proxy or, if you beneficially own your shares, following the instructions on the voting instruction card; |
| Submitting another proxy card (or voting instruction card if you beneficially own your shares) with a later date; |
| If you are a holder of record, or a beneficial owner with a proxy from the holder of record, voting in person at the Annual Meeting; or |
| If you voted by telephone or the Internet, submitting subsequent voting instructions through the telephone or Internet. |
What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy or voting instruction card?
It means you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with banks and stockbrokers. Please vote all of your shares. Beneficial owners sharing an address who are receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials and Annual Report will need to contact their broker, bank or other nominee to request that only a single copy of each document be mailed to all stockholders at the shared address in the future. In addition, if you are the beneficial owner, but not the record holder, of ADTs shares, your broker, bank or other nominee may deliver only one copy of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report to multiple stockholders who share an address unless that nominee has received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. ADT will deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered. Stockholders who wish to receive a separate printed copy of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report, now or in the future, should submit their request to ADT by telephone at (561) 322-4958 or by submitting a written request to our Corporate Secretary at The ADT Corporation, 1501 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33431.
What proposals are being presented at the Annual Meeting and what vote is required to approve each proposal?
ADT intends to present proposals numbered 1 through 4 for stockholder consideration and voting at the Annual Meeting. These proposals are for:
1. | Election of the members of the Board of Directors, each as named in this Proxy Statement. |
2. | Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as ADTs Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2013. |
3. | Approval, in a non-binding vote, of the Companys named executive officer compensation. |
4. | Determination, in a non-binding vote, of whether a non-binding stockholder vote to approve the Companys named executive officer compensation should occur every one, two or three years. |
5. | To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment of the meeting. |
Other than matters incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting and those set forth in this Proxy Statement, ADT does not know of any other business or proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting. If any other business is proposed and properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxies received from our stockholders give the proxy holders the authority to vote on the matter at their discretion, and such proxy holders will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.
- 4 -
Election of each Director requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting for the election of Directors, provided that in a contested election of directors, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast. Proposal No. 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter. Proposal No. 3 requires that the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal. Proposal No. 4 will be determined by which of the options (i.e., every year, every two years, every three years) receives a majority of the votes cast. Proposal No. 3 and Proposal No. 4 are advisory in nature and are non-binding.
How does a stockholder submit a proposal for the 2014 Annual Meeting?
Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, establishes the eligibility requirements and the procedures that must be followed for a stockholder proposal to be included in a public companys proxy materials. Under the rule, if a stockholder wants to include a proposal in ADT proxy materials for its 2014 Annual Meeting, the proposal must be received by ADT at its principal executive offices on or before September 30, 2013 and comply with eligibility requirements and procedures. An ADT stockholder who wants to present a matter for action at the 2014 Annual Meeting, but chooses not to do so under Exchange Act Rule 14a-8, must deliver to ADT, at its principal executive offices, on or before November 14, 2013 and no later than December 14, 2013, a written notice to that effect; provided, however, in the event that the date of the 2014 Annual Meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the 2013 Annual Meeting, such notice must be received not later than 120 calendar days prior to the 2014 Annual Meeting or 10 calendar days following the date on which public announcement of the date of the 2014 Annual Meeting is first made. In either case, as well as for stockholder nominations for Directors, the stockholder must also comply with the requirements in the Companys By-laws with respect to a stockholder properly bringing business before the Annual Meeting. (You can request a copy of the By-laws from our Corporate Secretary.)
Can a stockholder nominate Director Candidates?
The Companys By-laws permit stockholders to nominate Directors at the Annual Meeting. To make a Director nomination at the 2014 Annual Meeting, you must submit a notice with the name of the candidate on or before November 14, 2013 to the Corporate Secretary of ADT. The nomination and notice must meet all other qualifications and requirements of the Companys Board Governance Principles, By-laws and Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors evaluates all Director nominee candidates in the same manner, regardless of the source of the recommendation. These standards are discussed in further detail below at pages 16 to 17 under Corporate Governance of the Company-Director Nomination Process. (You can request a copy of the nomination requirements from our Corporate Secretary.)
What constitutes a quorum?
In order to conduct business at the Annual Meeting it is necessary to have a quorum. The holders of record of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum.
What is the effect of broker non-votes and abstentions?
A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular agenda item because the broker does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Although brokers have discretionary power to vote your shares with respect to routine matters, they do not have discretionary power to vote your uninstructed shares on non-routine matters pursuant to NYSE rules. We believe the following proposals will be considered non-routine under NYSE rules and therefore your broker will not be able to vote your shares with respect to these proposals unless the broker receives appropriate instructions from you: Proposal No. 1 (Election of Directors), Proposal No. 3 (Non-Binding Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation) and Proposal No. 4
- 5 -
(Non-Binding Advisory Vote on Frequency of Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation). Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcomes of Proposal No. 1, Proposal No. 3 or Proposal No. 4.
Shares owned by stockholders electing to abstain from voting and broker non-votes will be regarded as present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Votes cast shall exclude abstentions and therefore abstentions will have no effect on Proposal No. 1, Proposal No. 3 or Proposal No. 4, but abstentions will have the effect of an AGAINST vote on Proposal No. 2 (Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touché LLP as ADTs Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2013).
What happens if a nominee for director declines or is unable to accept election?
Our Board of Directors does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director, but if that contingency should occur prior to the voting of the proxies, the persons named in the proxy card reserve the right to vote for such substitute nominee or nominees as they, in their discretion, may determine. Therefore, if you vote by proxy, and if unforeseen circumstances make it necessary or desirable for our Board of Directors to substitute another person for a director nominee, we will vote your shares for that other person.
How will voting on any other business be conducted?
Other than matters incidental to the conduct of the Annual Meeting and those set forth in this Proxy Statement, we do not know of any other business or proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting. If any other business is proposed and properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxies received from our stockholders give the proxy holders the authority to vote on the matter at their discretion and such proxy holders will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.
Who will count the votes?
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will act as the inspector of election and will tabulate the votes.
Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Shareholder Meeting To Be Held on March 14, 2013:
Our Proxy Statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting, form of proxy card and 2012 Annual Report are available at www.proxyvote.com.
As permitted by SEC rules, ADT is making this Proxy Statement and its Annual Report available to its stockholders electronically via the Internet. On January 28, 2013, we mailed to our stockholders of record a Notice containing instructions on how to access this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report and vote online. If you received a Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail. Instead, the Notice instructs you on how to access and review all of the important information contained in the Proxy Statement and Annual Report. The Notice also instructs you on how you may submit your proxy over the Internet. If you received a Notice by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials contained on the Notice.
The cost of solicitation of proxies will be paid by ADT. ADT has engaged MacKenzie Partners, Inc. as the proxy solicitor for the Annual Meeting for an approximate fee of $10,000, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition to the use of the mails, certain Directors, officers or employees of ADT may solicit proxies by telephone or personal contact. Upon request, ADT will reimburse brokers, dealers, banks and trustees or their nominees for reasonable expenses incurred by them in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of our common stock.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY
Our Corporate Governance Principles
Our corporate governance principles are embodied in a formal document called the ADT Board Governance Principles that has been approved by our Board of Directors. It is posted on our website at www.adt.com under the heading Corporate Governance. We will also provide a copy of the ADT Board Governance Principles to stockholders upon written request to our Corporate Secretary at The ADT Corporation, 1501 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33431.
ADTs Board of Directors is responsible for directing, and providing oversight of, the management of ADTs business in the best interests of the stockholders and consistent with good corporate citizenship. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Board of Directors selects and monitors top management, provides oversight for financial reporting and legal compliance, determines ADTs governance principles and implements its governance policies. The Board of Directors, together with management, is responsible for establishing the firms operating values and code of conduct and for setting strategic direction and priorities.
While ADTs strategy and leadership evolve in response to its changing market conditions, the Companys vision and values are enduring. So too are five governance principles, and along with the Companys vision and values, they constitute the foundation upon which the Companys governance policies are built.
ADT believes that good governance requires not only an effective set of specific practices but also a culture of responsibility throughout the firm, and governance at ADT is intended to optimize both. ADT also believes that good governance ultimately depends on the quality of its leadership, and it is committed to recruiting and retaining directors and officers of proven leadership and personal integrity. To further these goals, the Board of Directors has adopted the Board Governance Principles. The Board of Directors intends that these principles serve as a flexible framework within which the Board of Directors may conduct its business, and not as a set of binding legal obligations.
ADT Vision: Why We Exist and the Essence of Our Business
We aspire to earn the lifelong trust of our customers by helping them protect and connect to what matters mosttheir families, homes and businesses. This vision, in conjunction with committing to the highest standards of business practices, will lead to ADTs long-term growth, value, and success.

ADT Culture of Responsibility and Code of Conduct
ADTs corporate culture is built on the premise that the Company seeks to draw the best from its employees, and that every employee, without exception, is responsible for the conduct and success of the enterprise. This includes full, accurate, candid, and timely disclosure of information, and compliance with all laws and regulatory standards. Employee responsibilities are elaborated in our Code of Conduct. The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the ethical tenor for management and the Company. That ethical tenor works on the expectation that employees understand where the lines are that they should not cross and stay widely clear of those lines. The Code of Conduct is reviewed periodically by all directors, executive officers, managers and employees, and they affirm in writing that they understand it and are fully in compliance with it. All senior executives, including the Chief Executive Officer, are evaluated and compensated in part on proactively promoting integrity and compliance.

The business of the Company is managed under the direction of its Board of Directors, in the interest of the stockholders. The Board of Directors delegates its authority to management for managing the everyday affairs of the Company.

Mission of the Board of Directors: What the Board Intends to Accomplish
The mission of ADTs Board of Directors is to promote the long-term value and health of the Company in the interests of the stockholders, its employees and its other stakeholders and set an ethical tone at the top.

Board Capacities
The Board of Directors as a whole is constituted to be strong in its collective knowledge and diversity of accounting and finance, management and leadership, vision and strategy, business operations, business judgment, crisis management, risk assessment, industry knowledge, corporate governance, and global markets.
The culture of the Board of Directors is such that the Board can operate swiftly and effectively in making key decisions and facing major challenges.

The Board of Directors is informed, proactive, and vigilant in its oversight of the Company and protection of stockholder assets.
Board Committees
| To conduct its business the Board of Directors maintains three standing committees: Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance, and they are entirely composed of independent directors. Assignments to, and chairs of, the Audit and Compensation Committees are recommended by the Nominating and Governance Committee and selected by the Board of Directors. The independent directors as a group elect the members and the chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee. All committees report on their activities to the Board of Directors. |
| The Chairman may convene a special committee to review certain material matters being considered by the Board of Directors. The special committee will report their activities to the Board of Directors. |
| To ensure effective discussion and decision making while at the same time having a sufficient number of independent directors for its three committees, the Board of Directors is normally constituted of between seven and nine directors. Stockholders have the authority to set the number of directors at the annual meeting of stockholders, and the directors have the authority to fill any vacancy that may arise during the year. |
| The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews the organization of the Board of Directors and recommends appropriate changes to the Board. |
Each of the committees operates under a written charter that is posted to our website at www.adt.com under the heading Corporate Governance.

Attendance at Meetings
Due to the Spin-off, which took place on September 28, 2012, the Board of Directors held one meeting in the 2012 fiscal year. Generally, ADT policy dictates that the Board of Directors meets at least five times a year, and additional meetings may be called in accordance with our By-laws. One of these meetings will be scheduled in conjunction with the Companys annual meeting of stockholders and Board members are required to be in attendance at the annual meeting of stockholders in person or, via exception, by telephone.
Board Communication
Management speaks on behalf of the Company, and the Board of Directors normally communicates through management with outside parties, including stockholders, business journalists, equity analysts, rating agencies, and government regulators. Stockholders can directly raise issues with the Board of Directors via email at directors@adt.com. The Board of Directors periodically reviews all pertinent stockholder communications.
To maintain its objective oversight of management, the Board of Directors consists of a majority of independent directors. Directors are required to meet a stringent definition of independence and for those directors that meet this definition, the Board of Directors will make an affirmative determination that such directors are independent.
Independent directors:
| Include no former officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or has served in that capacity within the last five years; |
| Have no current or prior material relationships with ADT aside from their directorship that could affect their judgment; |
- 13 -
| Have not worked for, or have any immediate family member, been retained by, or received anything of substantial value from the Company aside from his or her compensation as directors; |
| Have no immediate family member who is an officer of the Company or its subsidiaries or has any current or past material relationship with the Company; |
| Do not work for, nor does any immediate family member, work, consult with, or are retained by another publicly traded companys board of directors on which the Chief Executive Officer or other senior management serve; |
| Do not serve as, nor does any immediate family member serve as, an executive officer of any entity which the Companys annual sales to or purchases from exceeded one percent of either entitys annual revenues for the last fiscal year; |
| Do not serve, nor does any immediate family member serve, on either the board of directors or the compensation committee of any corporation that employs either a nominee for director or a member of the immediate family of any nominee for director; and |
| Do not serve, nor does any immediate family member serve as a director, trustee, executive officer or similar position of a charitable or non-profit organization to which the Company or its subsidiaries made charitable contributions or payments in excess of one percent of the organizations charitable receipts or ADTs charitable donations during the last fiscal year. |
Our Board of Directors formally determines the independence of the ADT directors. Based on an annual evaluation performed by, and recommendations made by, the Nominating and Governance Committee, our Board of Directors annually determines the independence of each director. Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each of Mr. Colligan, Mr. Donahue, Mr. Dutkowsky, Mr. Gordon, Ms. Heller, Ms. Hyle, Mr. Meister and Mr. Paliwal are independent directors and that none of these Directors has a material relationship with ADT, either directly or as a partner, stockholder, or officer of an organization that has a material relationship with ADT. Mr. Gursahaney, the current Chief Executive Officer, is not independent, because of his role as an executive officer of the Company.
Material relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable, and familial relationships, among others. The standards, which are set forth above, that are relied upon by the Board of Directors in affirmatively determining whether a director is independent are comprised of those objective standards set forth in the NYSE rules, which generally provide that:
| A director who is an employee, or whose immediate family member (defined as a spouse, parent, child, sibling, father- and mother-in-law, son- and daughter-in-law, brother- and sister-in-law and anyone, other than a domestic employee, sharing the directors home) is an executive officer, of the Company, would not be independent until three years after the end of such relationship. |
| A director who receives, or whose immediate family member receives, more than $120,000 per year in direct compensation from the Company, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior services (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service) would not be independent until three years after ceasing to receive such amount. |
| A director who is a partner of or employed by, or whose immediate family member is a partner of or employed by and personally works on the Companys audit, a present or former internal or external auditor of the Company would not be independent until three years after the end of the affiliation or the employment or auditing relationship. |
| A director who is employed, or whose immediate family member is employed, as an executive officer of another company where any of the Companys present executives serve on the other companys compensation committee would not be independent until three years after the end of such service or employment relationship. |
- 14 -
| A director who is an employee, or whose immediate family member is an executive officer, of a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any single fiscal year, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other companys consolidated gross revenues, would not be independent until three years after falling below such threshold. |
Guidelines for Related Party Transactions
The Board of Directors has adopted certain Guidelines for Related Party Transactions. These Guidelines provide a process for compliance with the related party provisions of the Board Governance Principles, the Companys Code of Conduct, and the Companys Amended and Restated By-laws, as well as the disclosure obligations of the Exchange Act regulations. The Nominating and Governance Committee will monitor, review and approve, if necessary, any material related party transactions between ADT and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) and its senior officers and directors. ADTs Guidelines for Related Party Transactions state that on an annual basis, the Nominating and Governance Committee will receive a list of related parties (the Related Party List) for each senior officer and director and such list will include any entity that employs a director, any entity (including charitable organizations) for which the director or executive officer serves on the board of directors, and any entity in which the senior officer or director owns more than a 10% interest. There are three types of material related party transactions covered by the Guidelines for Related Party Transactions with specific review procedures:
| Type 1transactions involving the purchase by or from the Company of products or services in the ordinary course of business in arms-length transactions. |
| Type 2transactions involving the provision of consulting, legal, accounting or financial advisory services to the Company that could compromise a directors independence. |
| Type 3transactions in which a director or officer has a direct or indirect personal interest or that create a conflict of interest for the director or officer. |
Ordinary course of business, arms-length transactions with entities on the Related Party List are deemed pre-approved by the Nominating and Governance Committee, in amounts in the aggregate for each such entity of less than 1% of the revenue of such entity or the Company. For Type 1, the Guidelines for Related Party Transactions provide that the Nominating and Governance Committee, prior to filing the Companys proxy statement, annually review the Related Party List, including the amount of payments to or from each related party, in comparison to the 1% threshold to ensure that the directors meet the director independence requirement. Any proposed related party transaction involving a member of the Board of Directors must be reviewed and approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. All related party transactions involving potential conflicts of interest must be reported to the Nominating and Governance Committee and approved or ratified by such Committee. During fiscal year 2012, there were no related party transactions that exceeded the 1% threshold.
| Directors are elected by an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders at the annual meeting and they serve for one-year terms. Any nominee for director who does not receive a majority of votes cast from the stockholders is not elected to the Board of Directors. |
| Directors are not eligible to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting following their 72nd birthday. However, the Board of Directors may ask the director to continue service on the Board when it is deemed to be in the best interest of the Company. |
| The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for the review of all directors, and where necessary will take action to remove a director for performance, which requires the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors. This unanimous approval does not include the approval of the director whose removal is sought. |
- 15 -
| Directors inform the Nominating and Governance Committee of any significant change in their employment or professional responsibilities and will offer their resignation to the Board of Directors. This allows for discussion with the Nominating and Governance Committee to determine if it is in the mutual interest of both parties for the director to continue on the Board of the Directors. |
| The guidelines for service as committee chairs include (1) service in their respective roles for five years, and (2) rotation at the time of the annual meeting of stockholders following the completion of their fifth year of service. |
| When the Chairman of the Board of Directors steps down, he or she simultaneously resigns from the Board of Directors, unless the remaining members of the Board of Directors decides that his or her services are in the best interests of the Company. It is only in unusual circumstances that the Board of Directors decides that the retired Chairman continues to serve. |
The Board of Directors has adopted a written Code of Conduct for directors, executive officers, managers and employees that is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote, among other things:
| honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
| full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with the SEC and other regulators and in our other public communications; |
| compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including insider trading compliance; and |
| accountability for adherence to the Code of Conduct and prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code, including illegal or unethical behavior regarding accounting or auditing practices. |
A copy of our Code of Conduct is posted on our website at www.adt.com under the heading Corporate Governance. We will also provide a copy of our Code of Conduct to stockholders upon written request to our Corporate Secretary at The ADT Corporation, 1501 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33431.
In accordance with our governance policies, the Nominating and Governance Committee seeks to create a Board of Directors that as a whole is strong in its collective knowledge and has a diversity of skills and experience with respect to vision and strategy, management and leadership, business operations, business judgment, crisis management, risk assessment, industry knowledge, accounting and finance, corporate governance and global markets. Our Board of Directors does not have a specific policy regarding diversity. Instead, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers the Board of Directors overall composition when considering a potential new candidate, including whether the Board of Directors has an appropriate combination of professional experience, skills, knowledge and variety of viewpoints and backgrounds in light of our current and expected future needs. We believe that it is desirable for new candidates to contribute to a variety of viewpoints on the Board of Directors, which may be enhanced by a mix of different professional and personal backgrounds and experiences.
General criteria for the nomination of director candidates include:
| the highest ethical standards and integrity; |
| a willingness to act on and be accountable for board decisions; |
| an ability to provide wise, informed and thoughtful counsel to top management on a range of issues; |
| a history of achievement that reflects superior standards for themselves and others; |
- 16 -
| loyalty and commitment to driving the success of ADT; |
| an ability to take tough positions while at the same time working as a team player; and |
| individual backgrounds that provide a portfolio of experience and knowledge commensurate with our needs. |
Invitations to director nominees for a position on the Board of Directors will be extended by the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee after discussion with the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer and agreement by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will consider nominations submitted by stockholders.

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
This section presents information concerning compensation arrangements for fiscal year 2012 and the post-Separation (defined below) programs for fiscal year 2013 for our named executive officers. Our named executive officers are our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and the three most highly compensated ADT executive officers based on their fiscal year 2012 compensation with Tyco. Our named executive officers for 2012 are listed below.
ADT Named Executive Officers |
Pre-Separation Role at Tyco | |
Naren Gursahaney Chief Executive Officer |
President of Tyco Security Solutions | |
Kathryn Mikells Chief Financial Officer |
Chief Financial Officer of ADT North America Residential | |
Donald Boerema Chief Corporate Development Officer |
Chief Marketing Officer of ADT North America Residential | |
Mark Edoff Senior Vice President of Business Operations Optimization |
Chief Financial Officer of Tyco Security Solutions | |
Anita Graham Chief Human Resources and Administrative Officer |
Vice President of Human Resources of Tyco Security Solutions |
On September 28, 2012, the Company became an independent, publicly-traded company as a result of Tycos distribution, on a pro rata basis, of all of the shares of ADT to Tyco stockholders (the Separation or the Spin-off). The strategic rationale for the Separation was to provide ADT with direct and differentiated access to capital markets and to allow the Company greater strategic focus of financial resources on activities that provide the most value to stockholders.
Prior to the Separation, the Company operated within the Tyco Security Solutions business unit, our named executive officers were employed by Tyco, and their compensation was determined by the Tyco Compensation and Human Resources Committee or its designees (the Tyco Compensation Committee) under Tyco programs. While we are required to disclose the compensation of our named executive officers and decisions made with respect to their compensation during fiscal year 2012, this disclosure reflects compensation under Tyco programs pursuant to the Tyco compensation philosophy and does not necessarily reflect the compensation our named executive officers receive following the Separation. However, many of our compensation programs are based on the Tyco compensation programs, and the historical information concerning compensation of our named executive officers gives context to our new pay practices at ADT.
Where compensation decisions have been made with respect to fiscal year 2013, we have included a description of those decisions and compensation programs in order to provide a clearer picture as to the implementation of ADTs compensation philosophy following the Separation. As described in further detail below, we have redesigned our fiscal year 2013 compensation program to support our strategic priorities as an independent Company that include strengthening our core business and extending our market leadership by leveraging our industry leading brand name, superior scale, and expansive dealer network. Additionally, our new compensation program is tailored to reinforce our future growth initiatives aimed at driving both short- and long-term profitability, including our investments in technology, people, and products that will drive both the acquisition of new customers and the retention of existing customers, as well as the penetration of existing customer relationships with new services, such as interactive monitoring and home automation capabilities. As a newly independent public company, we are not able to compare our total shareholder returns to the total shareholder returns of other companies in our industry or the S&P 500. However, we have designed our executive compensation programs to reward our executive management team for strong Company performance and an increase in value for our stockholders. In addition, we will be tracking total shareholder return compared to our peer group and will consider making it part of the executive compensation program.
- 25 -
In connection with the Separation, the Board of Directors of the Company formed its own Compensation Committee. In this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we refer to ADTs Compensation Committee as our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee determines the Companys executive compensation for fiscal year 2013 and beyond.
Compensation Overview and Philosophy
Post-Separation Programs. As a newly independent public company, ADT has designed and will continue to refine and further develop its executive compensation objectives, policies, practices and programs to support its strategic mission and business objectives.
The objectives of the compensation plans of the Company are to support its overall strategy and objectives, including the alignment of managements interests with stockholders; linking total compensation to defined performance goals; balancing the need to motivate appropriate risk taking without encouraging or rewarding excessive risk; attracting and retaining key executives; and providing competitive total compensation opportunities.
The compensation philosophy of the Company for purposes of the development and design of ADTs executive compensation programs includes, among others, the following concepts:
| Rewarding executives for achieving strong operating performance and delivering on the Companys strategic initiatives. |
| Targeting base salary and performance-based pay, on average, at the 50th percentile of the Companys competitive market, including select peer companies and the broader competitive talent market. |
| Applying limited discretion, as appropriate, in setting individual compensation packages which reflect the value and expected contributions of each executive. |
Tyco Programs. The compensation philosophy of Tycos Compensation Committee guided its compensation decisions with respect to ADTs named executive officers during the period prior to the Separation, including all of fiscal year 2012, and also during the period directly following the Separation. In designing ADTs executive compensation programs, the Tyco Compensation Committee was guided by its philosophy that executive compensation programs should:
| Reinforce Tycos business objectives and the creation of long-term shareholder value. |
| Provide for performance-based reward opportunities that support growth and innovation without encouraging or rewarding excessive risk. |
| Align the interests of executives with those of shareholders by weighting a significant portion of compensation on sustained shareholder returns through long-term performance programs. |
| Attract, retain and motivate key executives by providing competitive compensation with an appropriate mix of fixed and variable compensation, short-term and long-term incentives and cash- and equity-based pay. |
| Recognize and support outstanding individual performance and behaviors that demonstrate Tycos core valuesIntegrity, Excellence, Teamwork and Accountability. |
Role of the Compensation Committee
Post-Separation Programs. Following the Separation, our Compensation Committee adopted a charter that is similar to the charter of the Tyco Compensation Committee. ADTs Compensation Committee, which consists exclusively of independent directors also considered outside directors as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), is responsible for, among other things: (1) reviewing and approving
- 26 -
compensation, benefits and human resources policies and objectives; (2) determining whether our officers, directors and employees are compensated in accordance with those policies and objectives; and (3) fulfilling the boards responsibilities relating to compensation of our executives. Our Compensation Committee reviews and recommends compensation for our Chief Executive Officer to our Board of Directors. Our Compensation Committee has direct approval authority, without the ratification of our Board of Directors, over the compensation of our other senior officers (i.e., those Section 16 officers who are required to report trading in ADT securities under SEC rules) and senior executives (those executives who are not senior officers, but who have a base salary of $350,000 or greater), including each of our named executive officers.
In anticipation of the Separation, the Tyco Compensation Committee played an active oversight role in the design of our executive compensation programs, approving and recommending to our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors certain actions with respect to our post-Separation executive officers. These recommendations, which were ratified by our Board of Directors on September 28, 2012, included the levels of compensation of our named executive officers following the Separation, including base salary, target annual incentive award and target long-term incentive award values, as well as the target value of one-time equity awards granted in fiscal year 2013 (the Founders Grants, discussed in Elements of CompensationLong-Term Incentive AwardsPost-Separation Programs below).
Tyco Programs. The Tyco Compensation Committee consisted exclusively of independent directors, who were also outside directors as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code. During fiscal year 2012, the Tyco Compensation Committee had direct approval authority over the compensation of Mr. Gursahaney. The approval authority for compensation decisions relating to Messrs. Boerema and Edoff and Mses. Mikells and Graham was delegated to Tycos Chief Executive Officer and its Senior Vice President, Human Resources. Ms. Mikells compensation was, however, approved by the Tyco Compensation Committee upon her hiring in April, 2012.
Role of Independent Compensation Consultant and Company Management
Post-Separation Programs. In carrying out its role in establishing executive compensation plans, our Compensation Committee receives advice from an independent compensation consultant, and considers pay strategies and recommendations prepared by the Companys management. Under its charter, our Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain, compensate and terminate the independent compensation consultant and any other advisors necessary to assist it in its evaluation of non-employee director, chief executive officer or other senior executive compensation. Our Compensation Committee selected Farient Advisors LLC (Farient) to be its independent compensation consultant following the Separation. Among the responsibilities of Farient following the Separation are the following:
| providing an ongoing review and critique of our executive compensation philosophy, the strategies associated with it, and the composition of the peer group of companies; |
| preparing periodic competitive compensation analyses and conveying advice regarding ADTs compensation program design, pay mix, pay levels, corporate performance and goal-setting, and pay for performance alignment; |
| presenting updates on market trends; |
| attending regular and special meetings of our Compensation Committee; |
| regularly conducting private meetings with our Compensation Committee and/or Board without the presence of management representatives; and |
| conducting an ongoing review and critique of our director compensation programs. |
Our independent compensation consultant develops pay strategies and recommendations relating to our Chief Executive Officer, which such consultant provides to our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee and the independent compensation consultant together review and discuss all matters involving the Chief Executive Officers compensation. Our Compensation Committee reviews and approves the performance
- 27 -
goals and objectives relevant to the Chief Executive Officers compensation, evaluates his performance in light of those goals and objectives and, based upon this evaluation, recommends his compensation for approval by the independent members of the Board of Directors.
With respect to our other named executive officers and senior officers, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Human Resources and Administrative Officer develop the pay strategies and recommendations, which our Compensation Committee then reviews and approves.
Tyco Programs. With respect to the pre-Separation compensation of our named executive officers, the Tyco Compensation Committee received advice from an independent compensation consultant and considered pay strategies and recommendations prepared by Tycos management. From fiscal year 2007 until fiscal year 2012, the Tyco Compensation Committee retained Exequity LLP (Exequity) as its independent compensation consultant to provide services exclusively to the Tyco Compensation Committee.
In general, the independent compensation consultant developed pay strategies and recommendations relating to the Chief Executive Officer of Tyco, which the consultant provided to the Tyco Compensation Committee, and also reviewed and critiqued Tycos director and executive compensation programs, strategies and philosophy. During fiscal year 2012, Exequity also assisted the Tyco Compensation Committee in developing its recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding post-Separation executive compensation.
With respect to our named executive officers, the Chief Executive Officer of Tyco and Tycos Senior Vice President, Human Resources and Internal Communications developed the pay strategies and recommendations, which the Tyco Compensation Committee then reviewed. However, the authority to approve those strategies and recommendations resided with different parties according to the employees level within Tyco. For Mr. Gursahaney, decisions were required to be approved by the independent members of the Tyco Board of Directors, subject to the Tyco Compensation Committees authority regarding performance measures. For Messrs. Boerema and Edoff and Mses. Mikells and Graham, Tycos Board of Directors granted Tycos Chief Executive Officer and his designees the authority to approve pay actions. However, the Tyco Compensation Committee was responsible for approving actions related to other aspects of the compensation of these employees, such as the size of bonus pools, annual incentive plan performance goals, equity award design, equity value ranges and share pools and compensation packages for highly compensated employees who were not senior officers.
Process Overview: How the Compensation Committee Designs and Establishes Executive Compensation
Post-Separation Programs. Following the Separation, our Compensation Committee authorized Farient, with the assistance of management, to develop a peer group that would fit with the Companys business model and size characteristics. In doing so, Farient screened public companies based on whether they have a similar range of revenues and are generally focused on generating subscription-based recurring revenue, primarily in the business-to-consumer (B2C) arena. This process resulted in a peer group, which our Compensation Committee approved, consisting of the following companies:
The Brinks Co. |
Liberty Media Corp. |
Telephone & Data Systems, Inc. | ||
Cablevision Systems Corp. |
MetroPCS Communications, Inc. |
Tyco International Ltd. | ||
CenturyLink, Inc. |
Netflix, Inc. |
Windstream Corp. | ||
Charter Communications, Inc. |
Rollins, Inc. |
DIRECTV * | ||
Equinix, Inc. |
SIRIUS XM Radio Inc. |
Ascent Capital Group, Inc. * | ||
Frontier Communications Corp. |
Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. |
* | These companies are included only as reference peers, as their business model is similar to ADTs, but their size is considerably different than ADT. Reference peers are utilized only for purposes of analyzing pay practices and relative performance and are not used to benchmark the pay levels for our named executive officers. |
- 28 -
Going forward, our Compensation Committee will consider the compensation data from the peer group that relates to similarly positioned executives within the peer group when it sets the compensation levels of our named executive officers, as well as other factors including the relative complexity and importance of the executives role within the organization, the executives experience, record of performance and potential, general industry compensation data and internal pay equity considerations. Our Compensation Committee will also review tally sheets for each of our named executive officers to better understand the effect that changing any discrete pay element would have on the total compensation provided and reveal how well each pay element aligns with our compensation philosophy and objectives.
As previously noted, the Tyco Compensation Committee was actively involved in the design of our post-Separation compensation programs. In making its recommendation to our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors regarding post-Separation pay for our named executive officers, including the compensation approved for Ms. Mikells upon her hiring in April 2012, the Tyco Compensation Committee considered general industry data (excluding financial service companies) adjusted for the approximate size of the post-Separation ADT, and other benchmark data obtained from broad surveys prepared by third party providers. As demonstrated by the constitution of the Companys post-Separation senior leadership team, the Companys talent strategy called for both the development of internal leadership and the recruitment of highly experienced leaders from outside the Company. In developing post-Separation executive compensation levels, Tycos Compensation Committee broadly targeted total direct compensation at the 50th percentile of the benchmark data. Although these benchmarks represented useful guidelines, the Tyco Compensation Committee exercised discretion in making recommendations of individual executive compensation packages so that they appropriately reflected the value and expected contributions of each executive to the Company, as well as the executives leadership, commitment to our values, and potential for advancement.
Tyco Programs. In past years, the Tyco Compensation Committee considered the compensation levels and compensation program design of a peer group when designing and establishing executive compensation plans and targets and setting compensation levels for its executives and officers, including Mr. Gursahaney. However, due to the anticipated Separation at the end of fiscal year 2012, Tyco management determined that fiscal year 2012 compensation for our named executive officers (other than Ms. Mikells) should be equal to the compensation levels for fiscal year 2011, and any adjustments to compensation resulting from anticipated changes to their roles would be made concurrent with the Separation.
Elements of CompensationPost-Separation Programs
Our executive compensation program following the Separation, as designed by Tycos Compensation Committee and ratified by our Compensation Committee, incorporates four primary elements of compensation, which are described below:
Base salary: |
Base salary provides a fixed amount of cash compensation to our executives. We provide base salaries that are competitive in the market for talent, but base salaries are generally not the largest element of targeted compensation for our named executive officers. | |
Annual incentive compensation: |
Annual incentives are paid in cash based on the achievement of short-term performance goals of the Company. Annual incentive compensation rewards employees for their execution of the operating plan and other strategic initiatives, as well as for financial performance that benefits the Companys business and drives long-term shareholder value creation. It places a meaningful |
- 29 -
proportion of total cash compensation at risk, thereby aligning executive rewards with the Companys financial results. It also offers an opportunity for meaningful pay differentiation tied to the performance of individuals and groups. | ||
Long-term incentive compensation: |
A key element in the compensation of our named executive officers is long-term equity incentive awards (LTI compensation), which tie a significant portion of compensation to Company performance. LTI compensation serves our philosophy, by helping to attract, retain and motivate talent, align the interests of our executives with the interests of our stockholders, link a significant portion of the executives total pay opportunity to share price, provide long-term accountability for executives, and offer the incentive of performance-based opportunities for capital accumulation in lieu of a pension plan for our executive management. | |
Executive benefit plans and other elements of compensation: | We provide limited perquisites and other benefits to our executives. We offer severance and change in control termination protection in order to allow the named executive officers to remain focused on their duties rather than contingencies that may occur during the course of their employment. We also believe that severance and change in control termination protection is needed to attract and retain the best talent available. |

Compensation awarded to our named executive officers is weighted towards performance-based compensation, with an emphasis on long-term equity incentives. We believe that this aligns the interests of our executives with the interests of our stockholders, and motivates our executives to achieve superior results. The chart below summarizes the distribution of total direct pay by element for fiscal year 2013.
- 31 -
Base Salary
During fiscal year 2012, the Tyco Compensation Committee determined that each of our named executive officers, other than Ms. Mikells, who was hired on April, 30, 2012, should receive an increase in base salary following the Separation to reflect their new roles and increased responsibilities with ADT. These salary increases were approved by our Board and are effective for fiscal year 2013 as noted in the table above.
Upon the completion of the Separation, each of our named executive officers (other than Ms. Mikells) received a one-time cash payment equal to the difference between their targeted cash compensation for fiscal year 2012 (base salary and target annual incentive award) and their new targeted cash compensation, prorated for the period from April 1 to September 28, 2012. The April 1, 2012 date was selected because it was the first day of the month following the approval of the post-Separation compensation by the Tyco Compensation Committee. This payment was made in consideration of the increased duties assumed by these individuals prior to the Separation in connection with their promotions and their new roles with ADT following the Separation.
Our Compensation Committee will review the base salaries of our named executive officers annually to determine whether they adequately reward our executives for their services and remain competitive in the market for talent.
Annual Incentive Compensation
For fiscal year 2013, each of our named executive officers will participate in our Officer Short-Term Bonus Plan, which is a subplan under our 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan and is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. Under the Officer Short-Term Bonus Plan, our Compensation Committee selects an objective maximum formula for annual incentive bonuses, based on the achievement of certain performance goals (excluding certain pre-determined items). For fiscal year 2013, our Compensation Committee established operating income as the objective performance measure for purposes of determining the maximum annual incentive bonus for our named executive officers. Our Compensation Committee also establishes a guideline formula that will be used to apply negative discretion to the maximum formula to arrive at the actual bonus received by a participant.
For fiscal year 2013, the guideline formula for annual incentive bonuses will be based on the achievement of financial goals (80%) and individual goals (20%), with the exception of the guideline formula for Mr. Gursahaneys award, which will be based 100% on the achievement of Company financial goals. The Company financial goals are based on recurring revenue growth (30% weighting), adjusted free cash flow (30% weighting) and net attrition (20% weighting). Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow before cash interest expense and adjusted for certain items, such as material variances from targeted gross account additions and targeted Pulse penetration to ensure the financial target appropriately encourages investment for long term growth. In addition, the achievement of financial goals for the Chief Executive Officer, senior officers and senior executives may be adjusted +/- 20% based upon achievement of certain strategic modifiers which are related to specific internal financial goals focused on driving the long-term health and growth of our business. Individual performance objectives have been included in the design of our plan in order to improve line-of-sight for participants, and are aligned to specific value drivers of our business. If the achievement of the Companys financial goals is at the threshold level or below, satisfaction of the individual goals will be capped at the threshold level of 50%. Pursuant to the guideline formula, payouts under the Officer Short-Term Bonus Plan are capped at 200% of the target level. Our Compensation Committee may exercise negative discretion with respect to awards under the Officer Short-Term Bonus Plan but may not increase awards.
Long-Term Incentive Awards
In fiscal year 2013, our Compensation Committee granted long-term equity incentive awards to certain employees including our named executive officers. These awards were in the form of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs). Stock options and RSUs will vest in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. The exercise price of the stock options is
- 32 -
equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. PSUs will vest in full on the third anniversary of the date of grant, with the number of PSUs to be delivered based on achieving performance goals with respect to recurring revenue growth (60% weighting) and adjusted free cash flow (as defined above) growth (40% weighting). In order to place more emphasis on performance-based compensation, Mr. Gursahaney did not receive an annual grant of RSUs, and was instead granted only stock options (50%) and PSUs (50%).
Also, in connection with the Separation, our Compensation Committee made additional one-time equity grants to certain of our key employees, including each of our named executive officers, to further align the interests of these key employees with the interests of our stockholders. These one-time Founders Grants are intended to enhance retention of our new management team, and are not considered part of our regular executive compensation program. The Founders Grants were in the form of stock options (50%) and RSUs (50%). These one-time stock option awards will vest in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. The one-time RSU awards will vest in full on the third anniversary of the date of grant.
The following table summarizes the grant date value or the target value, as applicable, for each form of award for both the annual equity grants and the Founders Grants for each of our named executive officers:

Executive Benefit Plans and Other Elements of Compensation
Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the benefit plans that are available to substantially all of our U.S. employees, including our 401(k) plan and our medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance and long-term disability plans. None of our named executive officers participate in a defined benefit pension plan.
Our named executive officers are also eligible to participate in the Companys Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (the SSRP), which is a deferred compensation plan that permits the elective deferral of base salary and annual performance-based bonus for executives earning more than $115,000 per year. The SSRP provides executives with the opportunity to:
| contribute retirement savings in addition to amounts permitted under the Companys tax qualified 401(k) Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (RSIP); |
| defer compensation on a tax-deferred basis and receive tax-deferred market-based growth; and |
| receive any Company contributions that were reduced under the RSIP due to IRS compensation limits. |
Supplemental Insurance Benefits. Following the Separation, Mr. Gursahaney continued to receive the supplemental insurance benefits that he received from Tyco prior to the Spin-off under policies whose premiums had been paid by Tyco. Going forward, our Compensation Committee decided to end the supplemental insurance benefit program for Mr. Gursahaney. In connection with the discontinuance of these benefits, we made a one-time grant of RSUs to Mr. Gursahaney in November 2012, with a grant date fair value equal to two times the annual premium value of these benefits and a pro-rata vesting schedule of two years.
Executive Physical Program. The Company strongly believes in investing in the health and well-being of its executives as an important component in providing continued effective leadership for the Company. As such, we have adopted an annual executive physical program. All of our named executive officers are eligible for this benefit.
- 33 -
Change in Control and Severance Benefits
The ADT Corporation Severance Plan for U.S. Officers and Executives (the Severance Plan) generally governs the benefits that would become payable to our named executive officers upon their termination of service to the Company, while The ADT Corporation Change in Control Severance Plan (the CIC Severance Plan) generally governs the benefits that would become payable to our named executive officers upon their termination of service due to a Change in Control. As described below, a double trigger is required under the CIC Severance Plan before most benefits become available to the executives covered by that plan.
The table below summarizes the key terms and provisions of the severance plans that are currently in effect.

Whether an executives termination is due to Cause under the CIC Severance Plan is determined by the administrator of the CIC Severance Plan.
The CIC Severance Plan generally defines Good Reason Resignation as any retirement or termination of employment by an executive that is not initiated by the Company and that is caused by any one or more of the following events, provided the event occurs in the period beginning 60 days before the change in control date and ending two years after that date:
| Without the executives written consent, the Company assigns the executive any duties inconsistent in any material respect with his or her authority, duties or responsibilities or any other action by the Company which results in a significant diminution in such authority, duties or responsibilities; |
| Without the executives written consent, the Company makes a material change in the geographic location at which the executive performs services to a location that is more than 50 miles from his or her existing principal place of employment; |
| Without the executives written consent, the Company materially reduces the executives base compensation and benefits, taken as a whole; or |
- 36 -
| The Company fails to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform the Companys obligations to the executive under the CIC Severance Plan. |
If an executive remains employed for more than 150 days following the occurrence of any event set forth above, any subsequent retirement or termination of employment by the executive that is not initiated by the Company will not constitute a Good Reason Resignation. Whether an executives termination is as a result of a Good Reason Resignation is determined by the administrator of the CIC Severance Plan.
Elements of CompensationTyco Programs
Tycos executive compensation program incorporated four primary elements consisting of base salary, annual incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation and executive benefit plans and other elements of compensation.
Base Salary
The Tyco Compensation Committee determined that none of our named executive officers should receive a salary increase for fiscal year 2012. Instead, the Tyco Compensation Committee determined that any salary increase should go into effect at the time of the Separation to account for the increased level of responsibility of our named executive officers in their new roles with ADT.
Annual Incentive Compensation
For fiscal year 2012, annual incentive compensation for Mr. Gursahaney was paid by Tyco in the form of an annual performance bonus under Tycos 2004 Stock and Incentive Plan (the 2004 SIP). For fiscal year 2012, annual incentive compensation for Messrs. Boerema and Edoff and Mses. Mikells and Graham was paid in the form of an annual performance bonus under Tycos Annual Incentive Plan (AIP).
In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Tyco Compensation Committee established performance measures and targets for Tyco (and for each group, division and business segment), and set a minimum performance threshold of $450 million in adjusted net income (adjusted for (i) business acquisitions and disposals, (ii) debt refinancing, (iii) legacy legal and tax matters, (iv) goodwill and intangible asset impairments for businesses acquired prior to 2002, (v) changes in accounting, (vi) asset impairments triggered by the Separation and (vii) Separation related costs) that had to be met in order for Tycos named executive officers to receive any bonuses for the year. The net impact of these adjustments did not determine whether the minimum threshold was met. These metrics were also approved by the independent members of the Tyco Board of Directors. The Tyco Compensation Committee also approved individual maximum bonus amounts for Mr. Gursahaney of 0.25% of adjusted net income, subject to a cap of $2.5 million. After setting these minimum performance thresholds and maximum payouts, the Tyco Compensation Committee further refined target and maximum payout values as a percentage of base salary. The target incentive opportunity for our named executive officers ranged from 50% to 100% of base salary for fiscal year 2012. Potential payouts ranged from 0% to 200% of the target incentive opportunity.
The performance measures approved for the corporate and group levels of the organization (including Tyco Security Solutions, of which ADT was a part) were also established in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and were used by the Tyco Compensation Committee and the Tyco Board of Directors in the determination of final bonuses for Tycos named executive officers. For our named executive officers, who were impacted by Tycos management and segment realignment in the second fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Tyco Compensation Committee primarily considered the operating results of ADT. These results were subject to a plus or minus 25%
- 37 -
modification based upon a qualitative assessment of first quarter results and each individuals contribution to the Separation. The operating results are described in the table below.

Description of Performance Measures: For compensation purposes, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted FCF were adjusted to exclude the effects of events that the Tyco Compensation Committee deems did not reflect the performance of the named executive officers. The categories of special items were identified at the time the performance measure was approved at the beginning of the fiscal year, although the Tyco Compensation Committee may in its discretion make adjustments during the fiscal year. Special items include gains, losses or cash outlays that may mask the underlying operating results and/or business trends of Tyco or business segment, as applicable. For fiscal 2012, the approved categories of adjustments included adjustments related to (i) business acquisitions and divestitures; (ii) debt refinancing; (iii) legacy legal and tax matters; (iv) goodwill and intangible asset impairments for business acquired prior to 2002; (v) tax law changes in Europe; (vi) certain unbudgeted
- 38 -
capital expenditures and pension contributions; (vii) unbudgeted restructuring charges; (viii) charges related to the Separation, and (ix) realignments of segment and corporate costs. Adjusted FCF was calculated by first adjusting cash flow from operations by removing the effects of the sale of accounts receivable programs, cash paid for purchase accounting and holdback liabilities, and voluntary pension contributions and then deducting net capital expenditures (including accounts purchased from the ADT dealer network), and then adding back the special items that increased or decreased cash flows. The customer attrition rate was a 52-week trailing ratio, the numerator of which was the annualized recurring revenue lost during the period due to attrition, net of dealer charge-backs and re-sales, and the denominator of which was total annualized recurring revenue during the period based on an average of recurring revenue under contract at the beginning of each month during the period. Dealer charge-backs represent customer cancellations charged by us to dealers because the customer cancelled service during the initial period of the contract, generally 12 to 15 months. Revenue is calculated in constant currency, which negates the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency over the course of the year, with adjustments made to targets to reflect the acquisition or divestitures of businesses over the course of the fiscal year (all shown in the table are the targets as adjusted for such items).
The table below shows the maximum and target annual incentive compensation opportunities for fiscal 2012, and the actual payments earned by each of our named executive officers. These amounts are reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation table.

The Tyco Compensation Committee and the independent members of the Tyco Board of Directors approved award payouts for each of our named executive officers in November 2012 based on the achievement of the minimum adjusted net income performance threshold of $450 million, and the achievement of the quantitative performance measures shown in the Fiscal 2012 Annual Incentive Compensation Design Summary table above. These results included a downward adjustment for inappropriate revenue recognition practices related to certain security contracts in China, which resulted in adjustments to prior period financial statements dating back to fiscal 2008. For purposes of the annual incentive plan, the Tyco Compensation Committee treated all charges related to this matter as though they were incurred in fiscal 2012, effectively eliminating any benefit that the named executive officers had received in prior years.
Long-Term Incentive Awards
For the fiscal 2012 annual equity grant, the Tyco Compensation Committee granted a mix of PSUs, stock options and RSUs to our named executive officers. Mr. Gursahaney was granted equity awards under the Tyco 2004 SIP consisting of stock options (40%), PSUs (40%) and RSUs (20%). Messrs. Boerema and Edoff and Ms. Graham were granted awards consisting of stock options (33%), PSUs (34%) and RSUs (33%). As Ms. Mikells was hired after the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, she was not eligible to receive PSUs. She was granted stock options (50%) and RSUs (50%).
Stock options granted by Tyco generally vested in equal installments over a period of four years, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, and the exercise price equaled the fair market value of Tyco common stock on the date of grant. Each option holder had 10 years to exercise his or her stock options from the date of
- 39 -
grant, unless forfeited earlier. RSUs granted by Tyco generally vested over a period of four years in equal installments. RSUs accrued dividend-equivalent units during the vesting period, which vested and were delivered upon settlement, and did not carry voting rights until they were settled in shares. Vesting provisions related to various termination scenarios are described below under the Grants of Plan Based Awards table. No equity awards held by our named executive officers vested as a result of the Separation.
Due to the pending Separation, the performance period for the fiscal 2012 PSU awards was originally the one year period ending on the expected closing date of the Separation. The performance metrics for the 2012 PSUs consisted of a return on invested capital (ROIC) measure (50% weighting) and a relative total shareholder return (TSR) measure (50% weighting). The ROIC metric was designed to reward executives for efficiently allocating capital and generating profitable growth. Minimum, target and maximum thresholds for each performance metric are described below:
Min | % of Target Earned |
Target | % of Target Earned |
Max | % of Target Earned | |||||||
Relative TSR (50% weight) |
35th pct. | 40% | 50th pct. | 100% | 75th pct. | 200% | ||||||
Improvement in ROIC (50% weight) |
10 bp | 50% | 50 bp | 100% | 90 bp | 200% |
In order to facilitate the Separation timeline, the Tyco Compensation Committee approved the conversion of all outstanding PSUs into time-based RSUs based on performance achieved through the end of Tycos third fiscal quarter (June 29, 2012). Following the announcement of the Pentair / Flow Control Merger transaction, and to facilitate diluted share calculations required for the transaction, the Tyco Compensation Committee and the Tyco Board of Directors approved the truncation of the performance periods for all outstanding PSUs so that each period ended on June 29, 2012 (the last day of Tycos fiscal third quarter). This modification was necessary to complete the Separation, as the performance metrics applicable to the PSUs would no longer be meaningful following the Separation, and precise diluted share calculations were required to complete the Tyco Flow Control / Pentair Inc. merger transaction. Performance metrics were also adjusted to take into account the shortened performance periods, although the vesting schedules for the PSUs were not changed. Thus, while the number of shares to be delivered in respect of PSUs was determined based on results through June 29, 2012, participants (other than employees who were terminated in connection with the Separation) are generally required to hold the PSUs through the original vesting date before the full amount of shares become deliverable.
The chart below illustrates the impact of these modifications:

Performance Share Results
Consistent with the shareholder value delivered to stockholders, through June 29, 2012, Tyco had substantially outperformed targeted results and, as a result, the number of shares to be delivered upon vesting of the PSUs is above target, as illustrated by the tables below.

Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards Upon Separation. Under the terms of the Tyco 2004 SIP, the Tyco Compensation Committee had the authority to make equitable adjustments to outstanding Tyco equity awards in the event of certain transactions, including the distribution of our common stock in connection with the Separation on September 28, 2012. Accordingly, in October 2011 the Tyco Compensation Committee authorized that various adjustments be made to outstanding Tyco equity awards to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the applicable Tyco equity awards following the Separation. Prior to the Separation, all employee incentive equity awards were granted by Tyco. On September 28, 2012, substantially all of Tycos outstanding awards were converted into like-kind awards of ADT, Tyco and Pentair.
- 41 -
The following table describes the conversion methodology for each of our named executive officers:
Tyco Equity Award |
Post-Separation Equity Award | |
Stock Options | Converted to ADT stock options | |
RSUs granted prior to Oct. 2011 | Converted to RSUs in ADT, Tyco and Pentair | |
RSUs granted in Oct. 2011 and later | Converted to ADT RSUs | |
PSUs | Converted to ADT RSUs |
Although the conversions described above preserved the intrinsic value of each type of award, in some cases they constituted a modification under the authoritative guidance for accounting for stock compensation, which requires a comparison of fair values of awards immediately before the Separation and the fair values immediately after the Separation. In certain instances, the fair value immediately after the Separation was higher. As a result, incremental compensation costs for certain of these awards were recognized and are included in the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan Based Awards Table below. In general, neither the vesting terms for converted options and RSUs, nor the period of exercisability for converted options changed as a result of these conversions.
Executive Benefit Plans and Other Elements of Compensation
While employed by Tyco, our named executive officers participated in the benefit plans that were available to substantially all of Tycos U.S. employees. Our named executive officers were also eligible to participate in Tycos SSRP, which is identical to our SSRP. In recent years, the Tyco Compensation Committee reviewed the other elements of compensation that were historically part of its executives total compensation and took steps to phase-out programs that it believes are not in line with best practices. Tyco provided limited perquisites and other benefits to certain of its executives, including certain of our named executive officers, consisting of the following:
Supplemental insurance benefits (executive life, disability and long-term care). Prior to the Separation, Tyco provided life insurance, long-term disability insurance and long-term care insurance to certain executives. Mr. Gursahaney was the only one of our named executive officers eligible for these benefits. Tycos executive life insurance program typically provided a death benefit equal to approximately two times the executives base salary at the time the policy was initiated, and allowed the executive to elect to pay additional premiums into the plan. Tycos executive disability insurance program ensured salary continuation above the $15,000 monthly benefit limit provided by its broad based disability plan. The executive long-term care insurance program covered certain executives in the event of chronic illness or disability. Under the program, Tyco paid the long-term care premium for 10 years, after which the insurance was fully paid. If the executive left prior to the end of the 10-year payment period, he or she had the option to continue making the premium payments to maintain the coverage. Tyco did not pay tax gross-ups for its senior executives on life insurance and long-term disability insurance programs.
Cash perquisite allowance plan. In fiscal year 2012, the Tyco Compensation Committee decided to end the cash perquisite allowance program for all officers of Tyco that received the benefit, including Messrs. Gursahaney, Boerema and Edoff. This program, which was instituted in 2003 to eliminate costly and administratively burdensome perquisites such as company cars, club dues and tax preparation services, provided for a cash payment equal to 10% of the officers base salary (up to a maximum of $70,000) that the officer could use without limitation. The Tyco Compensation Committee discontinued this plan as of January 2012. In connection with the discontinuance of this plan, Tyco made a one-time grant of RSUs to each of the officers who were receiving the benefit at the time of its termination. The fair value of the grant was equal to two times the annual value of the cash allowance for such officer, and the RSUs have a pro-rata vesting schedule of two years. The RSUs received by Messrs. Gursahaney, Boerema and Edoff with respect to the discontinuance of the cash perquisite allowance program were treated in the same manner as the RSUs described in Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards Upon Separation above.
- 42 -
Change in Control and Severance Benefits
The severance plans adopted and implemented by our Compensation Committee are substantially the same as those in place at Tyco prior to the Separation. Each of our named executive officers in fiscal year 2012 was eligible to participate in the Tyco Severance Plan for U.S. Officers and Executives (the Tyco Severance Plan). In fiscal year 2012, Mr. Gursahaney was the only one of our named executive officers eligible to participate in the Tyco Change in Control Severance Plan (the Tyco CIC Severance Plan). Ms. Mikells, however, would have been eligible to receive certain benefits in accordance with the terms of the Tyco CIC Severance Plan had there been a Change in Control, as defined under the plan, prior to Separation. These plans are the same as the Companys plans described in Elements of CompensationPost Separation ProgramsChange in Control and Severance Benefits above in all material respects, except that the cash benefit payable upon qualifying terminations was as noted below:
Tyco Severance Plan: | Two times base salary and two times annual bonus target for Mr. Gursahaney.
1.5 times base salary and 1.5 times annual bonus target for Ms. Mikells.
One times base salary and one times annual bonus target for Messrs. Boerema and Edoff and Ms. Graham. | |
Tyco CIC Severance Plan: | Two times base salary and two times annual bonus target for Mr. Gursahaney.
Messrs. Boerema and Edoff and Mses. Mikells and Graham were not eligible to participate in the Tyco CIC Severance Plan.(1) |
(1) | Ms. Mikells would have been eligible to receive a cash benefit of 1.5 times base salary and 1.5 times annual bonus target only if she had a qualifying termination in the event of a Change in Control prior to the Separation. |
Risk Assessment of Compensation Programs
Our Compensation Committee will periodically review the risks arising from our compensation programs to determine whether any such risks are material to us. We have determined that the structure of our compensation programs for 2013 does not create any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on ADT. Prior to the Separation, a similar review was conducted by the Tyco Compensation Committee, who determined that the pre-Separation Tyco compensation programs did not create inappropriate or unintended material risk to Tyco as a whole.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
Following the Separation, our Compensation Committee adopted ADT stock ownership guidelines. The Compensation Committee believes that executives who own and hold a significant amount of Company stock are aligned with long-term shareholder interests. The current stock ownership requirement for our executive officers is six times base salary for Mr. Gursahaney and three times base salary for each other executive officer, including each of our named executive officers. ADT shares that count towards meeting the stock ownership requirement include RSUs, PSUs (at target), shares acquired through our benefit plans, and shares otherwise beneficially owned by the executive. We generally require the executive to reach the required multiple in a period of years equal to the multiple. In addition, our stock retention guidelines require that our executive officers retain 75% of net (after-tax) shares acquired from the exercise of stock options or the vesting of RSUs until they attain their target stock ownership goal. As of December 31, 2012, all of our named executive officers met or exceeded the applicable stock ownership multiple guideline.
- 43 -
Our pay recoupment policy provides that, in addition to any other remedies available to it and subject to applicable law, if our Board of Directors or any Committee of the Board determines that any annual or other incentive payment, equity award or other compensation received by an executive officer resulted from any financial result or operating metric that was impacted by the executive officers fraudulent or illegal conduct, the Board or a Board Committee may recover from the executive officer that compensation it considers appropriate under the circumstances. Our Board of Directors has the sole discretion to make any and all determinations under this policy. We expect to update the pay recoupment policy when the regulations mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act are implemented by the SEC.
The Company maintains an insider trading policy, applicable to all employees and directors. The policy provides that the Companys personnel may not buy, sell or engage in other transactions in the Companys stock while aware of material non-public information; buy or sell securities of other companies while aware of material non-public information about those companies that they become aware of as a result of business dealings between the Company and those companies; disclose material non-public information to any unauthorized persons outside the Company; or engage in transactions in puts, calls, cashless collars, options or similar rights and obligations involving the Companys securities, other than the exercise of any Company-issued stock option. The policy also restricts trading for a limited group of Company employees (including named executive officers and directors) to defined window periods that follow our quarterly earnings releases.
Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a limit of $1.0 million on the amount of compensation that can be deducted by ADT with respect to each of our named executive officers (other than Ms. Mikells, our Chief Financial Officer), unless the compensation over $1.0 million qualifies as performance-based under federal tax law. It is our policy to structure compensation arrangements with our executive officers to qualify as performance-based so that compensation payments are deductible under U.S. federal tax law, unless the benefit of such deductibility is outweighed by the need for flexibility or the attainment of other corporate objectives. Potentially non-deductible forms of compensation include payments in connection with the recruitment and retention of key employees, base salary over $1.0 million, discretionary bonus payments and grants of time-based RSUs.
Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management this Compensation Discussion and Analysis and, based on such review and discussions, has recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Proxy Statement.

The amount represents the difference between their fiscal year 2012 salary and target bonus and their post-Separation salary and target bonus for the period from April 1, 2012 to September 28, 2012. The amount for Mr. Boerema in fiscal year 2012 also includes a retention bonus of $315,000 which was awarded in fiscal year 2010, and which was payable in fiscal year 2012. The amount shown for Ms. Graham in fiscal year 2011 reflects a sign-on bonus paid when she joined Tyco in March 2011. The amount shown for Ms. Mikells reflects a sign-on bonus paid when she joined Tyco in April 2012. |
(4) | Stock/Unit Awards and Option Awards: The amounts in columns (e) and (f) reflect the fair value of equity awards granted in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, which consisted of stock options, RSUs and PSUs. These amounts represent the fair value of the entire amount of the award calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. For stock options, amounts are computed by multiplying the fair value of the award (as determined under the Black-Scholes option pricing model) by the total number of options granted. For RSUs, fair value is computed by multiplying the total number of shares subject to the award by the closing market price of Tyco common stock on the date of grant. For PSUs, fair value is based on a model that considers the closing market price of Tyco common stock on the date of grant, the range of shares subject to such stock award and the estimated probabilities of vesting outcomes. The value of PSUs included in the table assumes target performance. The following amounts represent the |
- 45 -
maximum potential performance share value by individual for fiscal year 2012: Mr. Gursahaney$1,779,005; Mr. Boerema$188,772; Mr. Edoff$302,431; Ms. Graham$340,976. Information regarding the assumptions used to determine fair value appears in Note 12 (Share Plans) to our combined financial statements for fiscal year 2012. Ms. Mikells did not receive PSUs in fiscal year 2012. |
Amounts in column (e) for fiscal year 2012 include the incremental fair value associated with the shortening of the performance period for outstanding PSUs. The shortening of the performance period was associated with ADTs separation from Tyco. Amounts in column (f) for fiscal year 2012 include the incremental fair value associated with the conversion of outstanding Tyco stock options into stock options of ADT. On July 12, 2012, in connection with the 2012 Separation, the Tyco Board of Directors approved the conversion of all outstanding Tyco PSUs into RSUs based on performance achieved through June 29, 2012. On August 2, 2012, the Tyco Compensation Committee approved the conversion ratio based on its review and certification of performance results. On October 12, 2011 the Tyco Compensation Committee approved the methodology that would apply to convert outstanding Tyco equity awards upon completion of the Separation into post-Separation equity awards of ADT, or split into equity awards of Tyco, ADT and Pentair, in order to preserve intrinsic value. These conversions are discussed in further detail above under the heading Compensation Discussion and AnalysisElements of CompensationLong-Term Incentive AwardsTyco ProgramsTreatment of Outstanding Equity Awards Upon Separation. |

(a) | Cash Perquisites reflect an annual cash perquisite payment equal to the lesser of 10% of the executives base salary and $70,000. Payments are made quarterly and are adjusted to reflect changes in salary. This benefit was discontinued by Tyco as of January 1, 2012. |
(b) | Supplemental Executive Insurance Benefits reflect premiums paid by Tyco for insurance benefits for the executive and, in the case of long-term care, for the executives spouse as well. These benefits were provided to certain executives of Tyco upon the approval of the Tyco Compensation Committee. Mr. Gursahaney was the only one of our named executive officers who received these benefits in his role as an executive of Tyco. ADT has discontinued this benefit for Mr. Gursahaney as of November 30, 2012. |

(1) | Amounts reported in columns (d) through (f) represent potential annual performance bonuses that the named executive officers could have earned under the Companys annual incentive plan for fiscal year 2012. The Board approved a maximum bonus payout of 0.25% of net income before special items for Mr. Gursahaney, subject to a cap of $2.5 million. The Committee further established a maximum payout of 200% of target. Threshold amounts assume minimum performance levels are achieved with respect to each performance measure. For Ms. Mikells, amount represents annualized threshold, target and maximum, although actual bonus was pro-rated based upon her actual hire date as discussed above in Compensation Discussion and AnalysisElements of CompensationTyco ProgramsAnnual Incentive Compensation. |
(2) | Amounts in (g) through (i) represent potential share payouts with respect to performance share awards that were made in connection with the fiscal year 2012 long-term compensation grant. In connection with the modification of these awards described in footnote 5 below, performance results were determined as of June 29, 2012 and the number of shares deliverable upon vesting has been determined. These amounts range between 179% and 200% of target amounts depending on the year of grant. See page 41 for a discussion of performance results. Share amounts reflect the awards prior to their modification in connection with the Separation. |
(3) | Amounts in column (m) show the grant date fair value of the option awards, RSUs and PSUs granted to named executive officers, as well as the incremental fair value for awards that were modified during fiscal year 2012 (see footnotes 5 and 6). These amounts represent the fair value of the entire amount of the award calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 718 (ASC Topic 718), excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. For grants of stock options, amounts are computed by multiplying the fair value of the award (as determined under the Black-Scholes option pricing model) by the total number of options granted. For grants of RSUs, fair value is computed by multiplying the total number of shares subject to the award by the closing market price of Tyco common stock on the date of grant. For grants of PSUs, fair value is based on a model that considers the closing market price of Tyco common stock on the date of grant, the range of shares subject to such stock award, and the estimated probabilities of vesting outcomes. The value of PSUs included in the table assumes target performance. However, the actual number of shares that will be delivered with respect to the PSUs was determined based on performance through June 29, 2012. |
(4) | During fiscal year 2012, the Tyco Compensation Committee ended the cash perquisite allowance program for all officers of the Company that received the benefit, including Messrs. Gursahaney, Boerema and Edoff, and made a one-time grant of RSUs to existing officers who were receiving the benefit at the time it was terminated. The RSUs vest in equal installments over two years and had a grant date fair value equal to two times the annual value of the cash allowance for the applicable officer. |
(5) | On July 12, 2012, in connection with the Separation, the Tyco Board of Directors approved the truncation of the performance periods for all outstanding PSUs so that each period ended on June 29, 2012 (the last day of Tycos fiscal third quarter). This modification was necessary to complete the Separation, as the performance metrics applicable to the PSUs would no longer be meaningful following the Separation. The awards maintained their original vesting schedule. Performance through June 29, 2012 was reviewed and certified by the Tyco Compensation Committee on August 2, 2012. Refer to page 41 in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for details on the performance results. For modified PSUs, amounts in column (m) represent the incremental fair value of these modifications calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718. |
(6) | On October 12, 2011 the Tyco Compensation Committee approved the conversion methodology for all outstanding Tyco equity awards that would apply at the completion of the Separation. The conversion methodology was designed to preserve the intrinsic value of each form of equity award. In general, equity awards were either (i) converted into equity awards solely in respect of the stock of the employees post-separation employer or (ii) converted into equity awards with respect to each of Tyco, Pentair and ADT. Although these conversions preserved the intrinsic value of each type of award, in some cases they constituted a modification under ASC Topic 718, which requires a comparison of fair values of awards immediately before the Separation and the fair values immediately after the Separation. In certain instances, the fair value of stock options immediately after the Separation was higher. As a result, the modification resulted in incremental compensation costs for these awards, which are reported in column (m). |

Tyco made its annual grant of equity for fiscal year 2012 in October 2011. The award for each of our named executive officers (excluding Ms. Mikells, whose grant of equity was not made as part of the annual grant) consisted of a mix of stock options, PSUs and RSUs. For stock options, the exercise price equals the fair market value of Tyco common stock on the date of grant. Stock options generally vest in equal installments over a period of four years. Each option holder has 10 years to exercise his or her stock option from the date of grant, unless forfeited earlier. PSUs generally vest at the end of three-year performance cycles, with the number of shares delivered dependent on the achievement of applicable performance criteria. Anywhere between zero and 200% of the target number shares may be delivered based on performance. PSUs generally accrue dividend equivalent units, which are subject to the same performance conditions applicable to the underlying award, but do not carry voting rights. RSUs generally vest in equal installments over four years, accrue dividend equivalents subject to the same vesting restrictions as the underlying award, and do not carry voting rights.
In general forfeiture provisions for all types of equity awards are as follows:
Event |
Vesting |
Exercisability of Options | ||
Voluntary termination of employment (other than retirement): | Unvested awards are forfeited as of termination of employment. | Vested options expire on the earlier of (i) original expiration date, or (ii) 90 days after termination of employment. | ||
Involuntary termination of employment not for cause: | Unvested awards are forfeited as of termination of employment, except with respect to a change-in-control, divestiture or outsourcing event (in which case pro rata vesting generally applies). Certain executives are entitled to receive an additional year of stock option vesting. | Vested options expire on the earlier of (i) original expiration date, or (ii) 90 days after termination of employment (except with respect to a change-in-control, divestiture or outsourcing event, in which case the 90 days is extended to one to three years). | ||
Termination of employment for cause: | Unvested awards are immediately forfeited as of termination of employment. | Vested options are immediately cancelled upon termination of employment. | ||
Retirement (defined as termination of employment for reasons other than cause on or after age 55 if the sum of age and full years of service with the Company is at least 60): | Unvested awards that have been granted within twelve months are forfeited if retirement occurs less than twelve months after the grant date. On or after the 1st anniversary of the grant date, unvested awards accelerate and vest pro rata based on the number of months completed in the vesting period. | Vested options expire on the earlier of (i) original expiration date, or (ii) three years after termination of employment. | ||
Disability or death: | Unvested awards become fully vested as of termination of employment. | Vested awards expire on the earlier of (i) original expiration date, or (ii) three years after termination of employment. |
As discussed above under Compensation Discussion and AnalysisElements of CompensationTyco ProgramsLong-Term Incentive Awards, on July 12, 2012 the Committee and the Board authorized the truncation of performance periods for all outstanding PSUs in order to facilitate the completion of the Separation.

In addition, at the time of the Separation, Tyco stock options held by our named executive officers were converted into ADT stock options, the Tyco PSUs were converted into ADT RSUs, Tyco RSUs granted prior to October 11, 2011 were converted into RSUs for Tyco, Pentair and ADT, and RSUs granted on or after October 11, 2011 were converted into ADT RSUs. The conversion of equity awards in connection with the Separation is discussed in further detail above under Compensation Discussion and AnalysisElements of CompensationTyco ProgramsLong-Term Incentive AwardsTreatment of Outstanding Equity Awards Upon Separation.

(1) | Amounts in columns (b) and (c) include employee and Tyco contributions, respectively, under the Tyco SSRP, a non-qualified retirement savings plan. All of the amounts shown in column (c) are included in the Summary Compensation Table under the column heading All Other Compensation. Under the terms of the Tyco SSRP, an eligible executive may choose to defer up to 50% of his or her base salary and up to 100% of his or her performance bonus. |
(2) | Amounts in column (d) include earnings or (losses) on the named executive officers notional account in the Tyco SSRP and in Tycos Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the Tyco SERP), as indicated. The Tyco SERP was frozen with respect to additional contributions on December 31, 2004. Investment options under Tyco SERP are the same as those available under the Tyco SSRP. |
(3) | Under both the Tyco SSRP and the Tyco SERP, participants may elect to receive distributions in a single lump sum payment or in up to 15 annual installments. A participant who is still employed by Tyco may begin receiving distributions under each plan after a minimum of five years have elapsed from the plan year for which contributions have been made. A participant who has left Tyco may begin receiving distributions upon his or her termination of employment or retirement. |

(4) | At the time of the Separation, we adopted the ADT Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (the ADT SSRP). The ADT SSRP is a merged version of, and is identical to, the SSRP and the SERP. Balances under the Tyco SSRP and the Tyco SERP were transferred to the ADT SSRP at the time of the Separation. |
(5) | Ms. Mikells did not participate in the Tyco SSRP during fiscal year 2012. |
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The following table summarizes the severance benefits that would have been payable to each of our named executive officers upon termination of employment or upon the occurrence of a change in control, assuming that the triggering event or events occurred on September 28, 2012. Equity award amounts are shown on a pre-Separation basis and are based on Tycos regular-way closing share price of $56.26 on the NYSE on September 28, 2012.
For each of ADTs named executive officers, the Tyco Severance Plan or the Tyco CIC Severance Plan governed termination benefits for the triggering events specified below. In addition, individual equity award agreements govern the treatment of those awards under certain circumstances. For the definition of Good Reason and Cause under the relevant documents, see the discussion under the heading Compensation, Discussion and AnalysisChange in Control and Severance Benefits.
